NEGKTIE-I-IOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 16, 1914:.

Application filed January 10, 1914. Serial No. 811,430.

, cation.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in a neck tie holder and more particularly'to a holder for bow ties.

, The primary object of the invention is the provision of a holder of this character which will engage the side edge of the collar.

A further object is the provision of a holder which will securely hold the tie to the collar and at the same time be out of sight.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings :Figure 1 is a perspective View of the holder attached to the collar. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the holder attached to a bow tie. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view.

In the drawings the numeral 1 indicates a bow tie of ordinary construction and the holder is adapted to be secured to the tie as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The holder comprises a strip of metal which is bent upon itself forming the two portions 2 and 3, the portion 2 being provided with perforations A by means of which the holder is secured to the tie. The portion 2 is curved at the end as shown at 5 so that it will engage and press against the end of the tie thereby holding the same in proper-position. The portion 3 of the holder is provided with the spring arms 6 and the ends of the adjacent spring arms are curved as shown at 7 in opposite directions.

The holder being secured to the tie when it is desired to secure the tie to the collar the spring arms are pushed over the end of the collar as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the side arms being beneath the flap of the collar and the center arm being on top. By having the ends of the arms curved in opposite directions, the same can be easily inserted over the collar flap. It is of particular advantage to have the portion 2 curved at 5 as this holds the tie away from the collar at the point where it is to be attached.

Applicant has provided a holder of simple construction which is easily applied to the collar and holds the tie in proper position straight across the opening of the collar. He has also provided a holder which will in no way interfere with the buttoning of the collar.

Having thus fully described the inven tion what is claimed as new is 1. A neck tie holder comprising a metal plate bent upon itself forming two portions, one portion being secured to the tie and the end curved outwardly, and the other portion provided with spring arms extending longitudinally of the tie for engaging the edge of a collar.

2. A neck tie holder comprising a metal plate bent upon itself forming two portions, one portion being secured to the tie and the end curved outwardly, and the other portion provided with a plurality of spring arms extending longitudinally of the tie for engaging the edge of a collar, the ends of the adj acent arms being curved in opposite directions.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
